Lower Ping

Having a lower ping than whoever
you are playing against online is an easy way to get an edge.
Having a higher ping than your opponent is an easy way to
make the game harder than it already is, since unless there is software
to handle latency, this extra time must be compensated for by your
reaction time.

There are other benefits as well. If you use voice
over IP or anything that transmitts voice over your internet like a
Magic Jack, you can easily notice the
delay it takes someone to talk
back after something is said. Even something as simple as
Skype will quickly make you notice the benefits.

TIP!
Even if you
have never done any work in the Windows registry, the change below is
very easy to do.

TcpAckFrequency

Most will read TcpAckFrequency and wonder what the heck that
means. I'll explain it the best way I know how.
When the computer sends a signal to another computer, it
waits until there is a chunk of data before sending it. When
it comes to a game or software interacting with another human, we're
very perceptive. A 10th of a second, or a 100ms, is actually
a bigger unit of time than you want it to be.

Think of watching a movie where the audio is a little bit out,
the lips don't match the sound, how long does it take to figure that
out? By making a change to TcpAckFrequency, what you actually
do is instead of the computer waiting for a whole chunk of data before
sending, you tell the computer to immediately send your voice or
commands as soon as they're received.

It may sound fancy or something a professional technician
needs to do, let me assure you, I explain it in the video and do it in
3 min. The file path in the video is Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\
Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\.
